Grade eight bolts are supposedly fairly weak as bolts go (a disappointment
to a guy with a huge collection of them). According to Carroll Smith's
fastener book they are unmitigated junk. I just bought some flywheel bolts
from ARP, and they certainly look like the real thing (and cost like it
too).

How long are these long studs, and where can you get them? I went on a
long
stud search for my aluminum hubs some time ago. Three inches seemed to be
the limit.
I assume that grade 8 bolts have just as good if not better strength
characteristics as any wheel stud. I saw an ex-Group 44 car at Auto Tech
in
Pittsburgh. This car had bigger than 1/2" studs (and longer than 3") in
the
wheel hubs.
